Book excerpt: Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.
Download or read book MEGA-CRISES written by Ira Helsloot and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in turbulent times with continents and nations facing ever-heightening risks such as natural disasters, intense and protracted conflicts, terrorism, corporate crises, cyber threats to infrastructures and mega-events. We are witnessing the rise of mega-crises and a new class of adversity with many unknowns. The prospect of mega-crises presents professionals and students in the field of crisis management with four major tasks. First, they should engage in “deep thinking” about the causes of the increasing occurrence of mega-crises. Second, they should identify and work through the dominant trends which complicate contemporary crisis management. Third, they should upgrade institutional crisis management capacity. Fourth, they should improve societal resilience since no institutional complex can mitigate or manage these mega-crisis on its own. This book is divided into four primary parts, each of which looks at one facet of mega-crises. Part I focuses on the concept of a mega-crisis and mega-crisis management; Part II examines crisis management of mega-natural disasters; Part III evaluates crisis management of man-made mega-crises; and Part IV identifies mega-threats and vulnerabilities. Additional major topics include Hurricane Katrina; Hurricane Gustav; the London Bombings; the Mumbai Terrorist Attacks of July 7, 2005; corporate meltdowns; the subprime crisis; the Olympic Games; electricity grids; global climate change; the Dutch Delta; risks to food security; and mega-crises and the Internet. This comprehensive text will provide practitioners and academics with the results of an across-the-board research effort in the prospects, nature, characteristics, and the effects of mega-crises.

Inland Water Resources and Aquaculture Service and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquaculture is developing, expanding and intensifying in almost all regions of the world, except in sub-Saharan Africa. Although the sector appears to be capable of meeting the gap between future demand and supply for aquatic food, there are many constraints and challenges which must be addressed in order to at least maintain the present level of per capita consumption at the global level. Key issues are the need for enhanced enforcement of regulation and better governance of the sector, as well as greater producer participation in the decision-making and regulation process. This publication examines past trends in aquaculture development as well as the current global status, drawing on a number of national and regional reviews.

Book Synopsis Management Strategies to Adapt Alpine Space Forests to Climate Change Risks by : Gillian Cerbu
Download or read book Management Strategies to Adapt Alpine Space Forests to Climate Change Risks written by Gillian Cerbu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate scenarios suggest that current forest stands will face radically different temperature and precipitation conditions in the future. Developing future strategies for forest management in the face of uncertain and highly variable forecasts of future site conditions is a great challenge. Here we have analyzed transnational case studies dealing with different manifestations of climate change effects. We intend to stimulate the discussion on management strategies to adapt forests in the Alps to climate change risks. The presented results are derived from the INTERREG project "Management Strategies to Adapt Alpine Space Forests to Climate Change Risks" that was implemented within the framework of the European Territorial Cooperation "Alpine Space Programme" 2007-2013.

Book Synopsis African Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation by : Walter Leal Filho
Download or read book African Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-05-21 with total page 2838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses current thinking and presents the main issues and challenges associated with climate change in Africa. It introduces evidences from studies and projects which show how climate change adaptation is being - and may continue to be successfully implemented in African countries. Thanks to its scope and wide range of themes surrounding climate change, the ambition is that this book will be a lead publication on the topic, which may be regularly updated and hence capture further works. Climate change is a major global challenge. However, some geographical regions are more severly affected than others. One of these regions is the African continent. Due to a combination of unfavourable socio-economic and meteorological conditions, African countries are particularly vulnerable to climate change and its impacts. The recently released IPCC special report "Global Warming of 1.5o C" outlines the fact that keeping global warming by the level of 1.5o C is possible, but also suggested that an increase by 2o C could lead to crises with crops (agriculture fed by rain could drop by 50% in some African countries by 2020) and livestock production, could damage water supplies and pose an additonal threat to coastal areas. The 5th Assessment Report produced by IPCC predicts that wheat may disappear from Africa by 2080, and that maize— a staple—will fall significantly in southern Africa. Also, arid and semi-arid lands are likely to increase by up to 8%, with severe ramifications for livelihoods, poverty eradication and meeting the SDGs. Pursuing appropriate adaptation strategies is thus vital, in order to address the current and future challenges posed by a changing climate. It is against this background that the "African Handbook of Climate Change Adaptation" is being published. It contains papers prepared by scholars, representatives from social movements, practitioners and members of governmental agencies, undertaking research and/or executing climate change projects in Africa, and working with communities across the African continent. Encompassing over 100 contribtions from across Africa, it is the most comprehensive publication on climate change adaptation in Africa ever produced.

Book Synopsis Les forêts du bassin du Congo et l'adaptation aux changements climatiques by : Jean Denis Sonwa
Download or read book Les forêts du bassin du Congo et l'adaptation aux changements climatiques written by Jean Denis Sonwa and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En Afrique centrale, le Bassin du Congo représente le deuxième espace forestier du monde après l’Amazonie. Bien que les forêts et les communautés forestières soient d’une grande sensibilité aux variations climatiques, très peu d’attention a été portée aux formes de l’adaptation en cours. Les services (conservation de biodiversité, stockage du carbone, recyclage de l’eau) et les produits, en particulier non ligneux, sont délivrés par la forêt au rythme des saisons pour le bien des communautés locales, nationales et internationales. La production de ces biens et services n’est pas à l’abri des aléas du climat. Il serait donc illusoire de penser que l’on peut gérer durablement la biodiversité forestière et stocker le carbone forestier sans penser à l’adaptation aux variations du climat. Dans la mise en oeuvre de la convention-cadre des Nations unies sur les changements climatiques, cet ouvrage met l’accent sur l’adaptation à un moment où la réduction des émissions liées à la déforestation et à la dégradation des forêts ainsi que l’augmentation des stocks de carbone forestier (REDD+) ont pris une place importante dans l’agenda de la sous-région. À partir de l’exemple de l’Afrique centrale, ce livre réunissant les meilleurs spécialistes des disciplines concernées est fondateur, initiant la réflexion et l’action dans le domaine de la forêt et de l’adaptation au changement. En révélant les variabilités passées et les enjeux de la prévision climatique, il souligne l’urgente nécessité d’une intégration résolue et concertée des forêts dans les politiques d’adaptation aux changements du climat et aussi d’une intégration de l’adaptation dans les politiques forestières. Denis Jean Sonwa est chercheur au Centre pour la Recherche forestière internationale (CIFOR), Programme « Forêts et environnement ». Ses travaux portent sur l’écologie forestière, les forêts et les changements climatiques. Johnson Ndi Nkem est conseiller au programme « Changement climatique & développement », CCDARE « Climate Change Adaptation & Development Initiative », du PNUD, Nairobi.
